C'est Magnifique Blog Hop!!

Spring is definitely in the air and what better way to celebrate its arrival than with the reveal of a kit filled with as much freshness and beauty as the season itself? We are offering so many opportunities to win some truly amazing prizes, and have stops along the way that include our participating manufacturers (Les Papiers de Pandore, Webster's Pages, and Blue Fern Studios), our own sketch designer Michele Singh, and of course our incredible design team who have created plenty of inspiration to keep you moving through the hop!

I was really excited to work with this beautiful kit. Its perfect for spring and therefore perfect for this occasion. I can't wait to show you some of my creations this month.

But before we get you on your way, let's take a look at our May Kit and Add-Ons:

"Spring's Portrait"

Here are 2 of my creations this month:The first one is a 12x24 Inspirational Canvas I designed using this famous quote by Helen Keller

I used the Webster's Pages papers for this canvas along with many flowers from the kit.

I will show you some close-ups of this project in a separate post in a few days as I don't want to make this post lengthy.

These two little black patent shoes are my daughter's high heel shoes. She loves wearing them all the time even if its not for a party. I had to take a picture of them to remember her with these shoes at this age. She's only 6 years old but she loves dressing up as if she's much older.

Hi, I'm KerenI’m a wife to a wonderful husband and a mother to two amazing kids. I’ve been scrapbooking for 13 years and I'm very passionate about it. Over the past couple of years, I've diverted myself into the mixed media world and I love combining them both together.

I love to create and experiment with many different mediums and techniques. My style is always evolving and that's one of the things I love about this art. I hope you enjoy the layouts I create!!

Disclosure For Affiliate Links

This is information about how my blog works:

I am part of various affiliate programs. That means I receive a commission when products are purchased through links on my blog and on my YouTube channel. (At NO extra cost to you.)

This lets me create more videos tutorials for you!

This is how I earn compensation for all the hard work I do on my blog.

I buy most of my own supplies. However, on occasion I do receive some free product to work with either from being on a Design Team or from an affiliate company.

Companies will sometimes send me products as a gift, not a payment. I’m not expected to use them and only use if I like them. I will always be honest with you!!

The only time I am given product as a “payment” is if I am doing a guest DT post or a blog hop. I also receive products from those companies in which I’m part of the Design Team.

In the very rare occasion that a company sends me products and asks me to do a review, I will mention it as well.

I don’t use products I don’t like as I can’t create with them. I use what I love and will be honest if I have to review a product.
